(If You Think) You're Groovy from the Small Faces Convention 2010 ...

Sunday 15th August ... Matt Henshaw and Chris Goring take to the stage again for the first time since December 2008 when they were in a little Nottingham band called Censored ... this time it's an all the more retrospective affair playing an acoustic and percussion set of Small Faces and Steve Marriott related songs ... the set went Black Coffee (originally written and recorded by Ike & Tina Turner subsequently covered by Steve Marriott as part of Humble Pie), (If You Think) You're Groovy (written by Marriott and Ronnie Lane for Immediate records label mate and former Ikette PP Arnold, who also did backing vocals on the Small Faces hit Tin Soldier), this was followed by a medley of songs that Marriott sang in various guises through the late 60s and early seventies (You Need Lovin' by Willie Dixon which formed the foundations of Led Zeppelin's monster anthem Whole Lotta Love, I Walk on Guilded Splinters from voodoo jazz folk rocker Dr. John from his eponymous album Gris Gris & The Night Tripper, later covered by Paul Weller joined on acoustic guitar by Noel Gallagher, For Your Love by the Yardbirds which at the time included Eric Clapton before they adopted Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, and a sprinkling of Small Faces tune E Too D and the Spencer Davis Group's I'm A Man), the closing two numbers were My Way Of Giving and Afterglow (Of You Love) ... I understand that last paragraph is a bit of a muddle ... if you followed it, well done, if you didn't, just know this ... Christopher and I very much enjoyed the thrill of performing on stage together again in our glorious capital and it certainly won't be the last time we do so ... Footage from the 14th Annual Small Faces Convention presented by Wapping Wharf organised by John Hellier ... filmed from the side of the stage by sound and stage manager Andrew P Gilbert ... Many thanks to all who attended Islington, North London's Relentless Garage on that far from Lazy Sunday afternoon ... Torch Forever !!!

Video Diary August 2010 w/ ReggiiMental, Rukus & Jamie Carragher ...

So, August 2010 has been a busy one thus far, here's a few snippets of video to let you know what we have, or haven't been up to, honestly we do do a lot of hard work besides all this ... First off we went down to Brixton Academy on the 1st to see ReggiiMental's uncle Dean Frazer who was playing sax for Taurus Riley at a massive reggae show with original Wailer Bunny Wailer and Capleton ... a real goooooood night ... and we hooked up with Skinnyman and Rtillery to talk about future collaborations and have a realy good time ... you know this Mud Fam !!! We've taken in the festivals that are Y-Not and Out The Box ... jolly good fun ... shout outs to Ian Evans, IME Music, Daisy Dares You, The Iron Door Club, The Swiines and that Rory in particular ... also, caught by a couple of Dean Jackson's roving reporters for the Beat in the East Midlands David and James, we had a little word and it was played out on the radio. The main percentage of our time has been taken up by recording new material and posing for photo shoots, up at Baby J's studios with the star (and soon to be TV star) that is Rukus and Kayne Clarke on the camera operations. And down in Camden with Emma Baughurst and the girls ... sweet photographs all round. I'm sure you may have seen a couple ... there's plenty more to come. And we've a few more photo shoots lined up before the months is out. Keep and ear to the ground for the new material ... soon come featuring Chris Goring !!! Watch me watch me watch me simmi !!!

Lovebox Diary #2 (The Full Story) ...

Hello there, Hola and bon tutti, I never really fully informed you about all that happened, went off and went down in Victoria Park, Hackney, East London a couple of weeks ago did I? I've been pretty busy since then I hope you'll appreciate and I'm sure you've been keeping up with all i've been doing online and all that niceness ... I've been Tweeting now and then as well !!! So, you'll be pleased to know it all went well ... here's me with Will Young partying at a Jocelyn Brown and the all-stars secret show in the VIP area waiting for Grace Jones to grace the main stage on the Sunday ...



... we were having a stickyoutearsandbigfacialfeatures competition ... I'll let you decide who won !!! And yes, I opened the main stage on the Friday ... but it wasn't just me ... as I'm sure you saw from my last update and video from Rukus that "me had many man dem dere" ... here goes a long list ... ReggiiMental, Emma Louise, BiggaMan, Joey G-Zus, 2nd Suzpect Joe Rizzle, Flava Dan, Byrnez, Chris Goring, Lloyd, Devas, D-BO and many more unseen but known and loved ... and of course Rukus, look out for him on TV over these coming months ... I was down for the whole festival getting the VIP treatment, I'm sure you've read in the NME about Dizzee Rascal and me and the Bombay Bicycle Club, very kind, even if through fear of a mad set of hip-hop bad men !!!

Who impressed over the weekend? Ellie Goulding was lovely, even if her manager wouldn't let her do a piece to camera for us, can't win 'em all !!! Mark Ronson did some lovely things with Spank Rock and the geezer from Phantom Planet, still rocking those Versions ... Radiohead's Just sounded mega! Big on the decks, Grandmaster Flash, obviously, and I caught a bit of Derrick Carter. Now playing - Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message Now drinking - cup of Yorkshire Tea Now eating - a Picnic bar Out this week on Rusty Jukebox Records ... Joey G-Zus - Cartoon Hip-Hop volume. 3 http://www.joeygzus.bandcamp.com/ - FREE !!! Check the advert with soundcheck footage from the Lovebox main stage ...



And check this mad video preview for the track Slippin' Away ... http://vimeo.com/12851905


Next update featuring Roots Manuva, Skinnyman, Dean Frazer, Taurus Riley and Bunny Wailer ...
